Chris Lowe, director of CSULB's Shark Lab, was interviewed by Good Morning America about the potential impact of El Niño on juvenile white shark populations along the Southern California coast. Lowe said the number of juvenile white sharks could double under El Niño conditions, but emphasized that shark attacks remain extremely rare—particularly when people swim in groups.
